Maybe I wasn't specific enough, yes, subversion install is as simple as yum install, but apache modules for subversion aren't so easy to install. We are still trying to compile subversion modules with apache2 ... there is a thread that has some instructions, but we are not able to compile the modules with the instructions posted. (here is the post http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?p=349890 )

Hi, hightekhosting
We don't think this wont be possible in the near future. I'm posting the answer from cPanel support when asking for help on writing a rule to include subversion for the EA3.

I don't believe it's possible to add custom modules like this to easyapache at this time. While it's possible to specify custom configure flags or such, third-party modules like this will need to be built manually after easyapache is run or with a posteasyapache script.

Unless it's your server and you're installing as an admin, you need the prefix. Otherwise make will attempt to install somewhere you don't have permission to write to. I'm surprised you're not seeing errors about that.

Try adding the prefix to all components of the installation and linking to the libraries you compiled in your own home folder.

Also, what you're doing here isn't installing Subversion for cPanel, you're installing a personal binary of Subversion that cPanel won't know anything about. There's nothing wrong with that, but this probably isn't the best place to be asking about it.

I have a script called phpfox and I need to install ffmpeg, mplayer, ,etc...

and I guess I need to install subversion to make this work.

The install directions I have are this:

Following are the steps to install FFmpeg + FFmpeg-PHP + Mplayer + Mencoder + flv2tool + LAME MP3 Encoder + Libog on a Linux server or VPS Hosting Manually. There are many automated scripts available which install these but its better to do it manually as in case of an error occuring during the installation process, we can stop the installation and fix them. These steps also include the common fixes for such errors.

You don't seem to have Berkeley DB version 4.0.14 or newer
installed and linked to APR-UTIL. We have created Makefiles which
will build without the Berkeley DB back-end; your repositories will
use FSFS as the default back-end. You can find the latest version of
Berkeley DB here:Oracle Berkeley DB Downloads

I've installed it anyhow but it appears it may not be linked to APR-UTIL. What a headache.
